Hi, This is day three (embryo transfer was Sat) and I’m already going slightly crazy thinking I have to wait till I reach the two week mark before doing a pregnancy test! I’m looking for support/ advice/ hope to get me through this period. I’ve had cramps since yesterday and just can’t stop thinking what’s happening/ hoping so much I’ll be pregnant. Any tips on stopping me obsessing would be most appreciated!

Hey. I don't really have any advice but I'm going through this with you. My transfer was Friday. I've had some cramping here and there but from my extensive Googling it would seem it's too early to trust our symptoms since it could be a reaction to the supplements.

That said I have had a killer migraine since last night accompanied with nausea. I suffer from headaches and not being able to rely on Advil is new to me so I'm not sure if this is related.

Not thinking about this seems impossible. I'm thinking about it constantly and even dreaming about it at night.

Thanks for your reply. It seems we’re doing the same thing - thinking, dreaming and googling about it. We definitely need to remain positive. I’m off work this so I’m going to try and relax. If cramps aren’t too bad, I hope to spend some time with my nephew - take him to the cinema, as he’s off on summer hols too. It’d be great to hear how you’re getting on and if you’ve had any more ‘symptoms’. I’m curious, is your partner quite relaxed about it? Mine is excited, but logical and says we just have to wait.

The two week wait, god! I hate it. It was the toughest time during IVF. And, to think that we have to deal with needles! I'm really impatient, maybe that's why. But still, it was really tough. Good luck, though. I hope it works!

I was battling with this yesterday and thinking what if I do and it’s positive, negative? I’ll probably have to do one every day because as you know, we can’t rely on any early results with all these drugs we’ve been taking. Logical hubby says I must wait the full two weeks. It’ll be a Sat and I’ll have no work so it makes sense. I’m really going to try and wait! You??

No, you can’t take the test seriously at all just yet! My extensive googling suggests that pregnancy wouldn’t be detected at this stage. If I tested, it’d be way into next week but will try and hold out - it’ll be tough! Keep me posted.

Haha, I can relate so much to this! I remember my first TWW. It was so emotionally draining. You just lose all the hope, and time slows down so much! It's easier said than done, but your best shot is diverting your attention. Try and focus on other things. I hope this helps! Good luck to you, I hope you get a BFP!

This is the most intense time period for anyone. I have been through it several times during this journey. One thing I learned was that it is really important to stay patient. I in the early stage used to be testing all the time. However, that used to leave me disappointed since the beginning. This eventually leads to stress. Just know that stress and negativity are not good. During this time eat well! Drink lots of juices and stay hydrated. Apart from this just relax and calm down. Its soo important to keep yourself occupied. Once you find something that interests you things will get even better. Good luck to you. I hope things go well. Sending baby dust your way.

There isn't an ideal way of coping with TWW. It's just important to stay sane. It's important to keep a hold of reality. It's really important to keep your mind off it. I hope you get a BFP. Good luck to you, honey. Lots of baby dust and love for you.
